(**) Yanacocha’s impairment loss (related to Conga) attributable to Buenaventura was US$236.2 million

Operating Revenues

During 4Q14, net sales were US$253.7 million, a 12% decrease compared to the US$287.0 million reported in 4Q13. This was explained by the lower gold, silver and copper prices despite higher silver, zinc and copper volume sold.

Royalty income increased 67%, to US$11.9 million in 4Q14 compared to the US$7.2 million reported in 4Q13. This was due to higher revenues at Yanacocha (67% higher QoQ).

Gold production at Orcopampa increased 14% in 4Q14 (compared to 4Q13) due to higher ore treated (Appendix 2). Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q14 decreased 15% explained by lower reagent (cyanide) costs and improving efficiency due to better contractor allocation.

Gold production guidance for 2015 is 190k – 205k ounces.

Silver production in 4Q14 increased 18% compared to 4Q13, mainly due to higher ore volume treated and recovery rate (see Appendix 2). Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q14 decreased 5% compared to 4Q13 mainly explained by lower reagent costs, better contractor terms and infrastructure improvements inside the mine.

Silver production guidance for 2015 is 14.5 million - 15.0 million ounces.

During 4Q14, zinc production increased 100% compared to 4Q13, due to higher volume treated from Tajo Norte (polymetalic ore). Copper production increased 15% in 4Q14 compared to 4Q13. Silver production increased 57% compared to the figure for 4Q13. Copper CAS increased 13% compared to 4Q13, due to higher commercial deduction and zinc CAS increased 5%.

Zinc production guidance for 2015 is 75k – 85k MT. Copper production guidance for 2015 is 30k – 35k MT.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in 4Q14 were US$24.8 million, 30% higher when compared to the 4Q13 figure (US$19.2 million). Due to a US$20.2 million credit in long-term compensation provisions in 2013, total G&A expenses in 2014 were 35% higher (US$101.1 million in 2014 vs US$75.1 million in 2013).

Exploration in Non-Operating Areas

Exploration in non-operating areas during 4Q14 was US$17.8 million compared with a US$9.4 million for 4Q13. During the period, Buenaventura’s main exploration efforts were focused on the following projects: La Zanja Underground (US$5.9 million) and Tambomayo (US$3.2 million). For the twelve-month 2014 period, the expense was US$50.0 million (US$32.8 million in 2013).

YANACOCHA

At Yanacocha (43.65% owned by Buenaventura), during 4Q14, gold production was 322,309 oz of gold, 75% higher than 4Q13 production (184,318 oz). For the twelve-month 2014 period, gold production was 969,944 ounces, 5% lower than 1,017,259 ounces in 2013, but in the high end of the guidance given at the beginning of the year (895k – 985k). 2015 Gold production guidance for Yanacocha is 880k – 940k ounces.

Despite of the fact that Yanacocha reported US$80.6 million of net income (under US GAAP), the impact of an impairment loss (in accordance to IFRS) related to Conga resulted in a loss of US$380.3 million. In 4Q14, CAS was US$426/oz, a decrease of 50% when compared to US$849/oz in 4Q13 due to lower stripping ratio in accordance with the mining plan.

Capital expenditures at Yanacocha were US$31.6 million in 4Q14 and US$117.3 million in FY2014.

Yanacocha still has a strong pipeline of growth projects: Quecher Main (prefeasibility), Chaquicocha Sulphides and Yanacocha Verde (scoping) and Maqui Maqui (exploration).

CERRO VERDE

At Cerro Verde (19.58% owned by Buenaventura), during 4Q14 copper production was 56,001 MT (10,965 MT attributable to Buenaventura), a 19% decrease compared to 4Q13 (69,318 MT and 13,572 MT attributable to Buenaventura). For full year 2014, copper production was 226,906 MT (44,428 MT attributable to Buenaventura).

During 4Q14, Cerro Verde reported net income of US$55.9 million, 72% lower compared to US$196.8 million in 4Q13. This was mainly due to lower sales. For FY2014, net income was US$377,605 million (compared to US$613,262 million in FY2013).

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$448.6 million in 4Q14 and US$1,750 billion in 2014.

Cerro Verde’s plant expansion has an excess of 50% progress and completion expected by 4Q15. The total CAPEX for the project is US$4.6 billion.

COIMOLACHE (Tantahuatay operation)

At Coimolache (40.10% owned by Buenaventura), attributable contribution to the net income in 4Q14 was US$5.0 million (US$5.7 million in 4Q13). For 2014, the contribution was US$22.3 million, compared to US$20.8 million reported in 2013.

APPENDIX 5: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales and Cost Applicable to Sales per Unit Sold

Cost applicable to sales consists of cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus Selling expenses. Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine consists of cost applicable to sales for a particular metal produced at a given mine divided by the volume of such metal produced at such mine in the specified period. We note that cost applicable to sales is not directly comparable to the cash operating cost figures disclosed in previously furnished earnings releases.

Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We consider Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold to be key measures in managing and evaluating our operating performance. These measures are widely reported in the precious metals industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have standardized meanings. You should not consider Cost applicable to sales or Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold as alternatives to cost of sales determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our operating performance. Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are calculated without adjusting for by-product revenue amounts.

The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units. The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 by reference to the reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization (by mine and mineral), Selling Expenses (by mine and metal) expenses and Exploration in units in operations (by mine and mineral) to consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, consolidated Selling Expenses and consolidated Exploration in units in operations expenses, respectively, set forth below.
